Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Major And His Demon

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 21:

Old friends

Carlisle Cullen was concerned. He had spoken to Jasper. His former son was missing for the past 5 months. His former son was with someone named Malchus. An immortal man who was caught between Heaven and Hell. He could not die. But he had no other powers. He was not strong. Nor fast. He had no real way of harming vampires. But why did he want Edward?

Jasper had spoken of stronger vampires. Vampires who were not as easy to kill as the Volturi had been. This was a concern.

The Romanians had been quiet. All the covens had been quiet. Fear made vampires behave themselves.

Carlisle should be relaxed. So what if Edward was gone? Edward couldn’t hurt Bella. Bella can’t be harmed. Esme, Rose and Emmett were safe. Edward had no way of knowing where they were. Even if he did, the Cullens outnumbered him. Jasper and Bella and their disciples, whatever those people were, were only a phone call away.

Carlisle was no relaxed. Esme was not relaxed. Emmett and Rose seemed oblivious.

Until they heard the slight noise outside. A ruffling of the grass too slight to be animal or human. His family was behind him at the front window before a word could be spoken. He expected to see Edward. He didn’t.

He saw six vampires though. They were all males. Differing heights, different hair color. All had red eyes. All were tall and well built. All looked like they had been sleeping in the ground. Torn clothes. Dirt on their faces. They had been turned recently and violently.

“Esme? Call Jasper. Now.”

Jasper and Bella were on the front porch of the ranch house. Jasper was seated in a wooden sunning chair while Bella lay curled up on his lap, reading a book. Her baby was due in a month. Things were settling down. Life was quiet. Edward Cullen was missing. Malchus hadn’t been seen. Rogues vampires had slaughtered a Chinese village last month. The twelve handled the problem.

“What are you learning about today darlin?” Jasper asked, relaxing in the feel of the sun on his skin and Bella’s hair tickling his chin.

“Having a baby is going to hurt.” Bella replied honestly.

“You have handled pain before. Hell Bella you get off on it.”

Bella looked very unsure.

“I don’t think this is the kind of pain you can get off on. This is the kind of pain that rips you open.”

“I’ll be with you the entire time.” Jasper kissed her forehead.

“That supposed to make me feel better?”

Jasper rubbed his hand on her swollen belly. He chuckled at her. Jasper thought about his life. He remembered his childhood in Texas. The South. Growing up. The first girl he kissed. Joining the Army. Leading men. Feeling he was destined for something great. He remembered the trip from Galveston when he met the three beautiful women. The one woman who would change his existence. He remembered the pain of changing. Waking up a blood thirsty demon. He remembered meeting Alice and falling in love. Thinking he was complete. Living with the Cullens and denying what he was. Fighting his nature.

The first time he saw her in the high school cafeteria. The love of his existence. The reason he was born. The reason he endured everything, lived this long. All to have her. The pretty clumsy girl who bit her lip and blushed when she looked at him. The brave girl who would run to a vampire to save her mother.

He remembered the fear that he had lost her. The joy of finding her. The pain of the change once again. Feeling the venom leaving his body, waking up and feeling like a weak human. The rush of power he felt when the Master joined him. The completion he felt when he held his Bella in the Volturi castle.

He walked through Hell for her. He lived between the earth and hell. All for her. And now for their child.

His phone rang. Carlisle Cullen.

“Do you feel that?” Bella asked as Jasper was answering.

“We need help now.” The voice of Esme Cullen whispered over the phone.

Jasper ran into the house. Bella slowly trudged behind him.

“Saddle up people!”

The Twelve were on their feet. Demons at the surface. When the Master was agitated, they all were. The smell of brimstone filled the room.

Jasper opened a portal and the twelve followed. Bella did as well. Jasper turned to her.

“Stay with Alice, Bella.”

“I am coming!” Bella’s eyes were black. She saw this as an opportunity. An opportunity to fix the mistake she made. A mistake of arrogance. She wanted Edward Cullen to suffer her own wrath before he went to Hell to suffer the eternal wrath. He escaped. He was walking the Earth because she didn’t kill him when she had the chance.

She would rectify that mistake.

Jasper looked at Abe who nodded. Abe would protect the Mistress. No one and nothing would get past him. Jaspers former rival, then friend and now captain.

The run through Hell was short. Darkness, screams, darkness and then the beautiful countryside of New York. Six vampires who resembled zombies in front of them. In front of the vampires, a beautiful two story house with four sparkling vampires in the front, ready for battle.

“Gentleman. May I ask what you are doing here and why you fellas can’t seem to find a bath?”

The snarling vampires turned to face the twelve and their Master. Their Mistress walked up beside him.

“Bella calm down.” Jasper whispered. Her skin was turning ebony. The slightest protrusion of red horns beginning to life her reddish brown hair.

“I’m fine, Jasper. The baby is fine. Shut the hell up.”

Bella walked forward.

“Where is Edward Cullen?” she screamed. A tall vampire with blonde shaggy hair charged her. It happened quickly. He raised his fist to strike Bella and Abaddon had him on the ground, dark wings piecing his shoulders. Four vampires ran towards the Cullens. One came to attack Abaddon. Cindi and Jasper took him down. They quickly found themselves thrown through the air. Bella screamed in anger. She was Lillith now. Vengeance personified. She grabbed the vampire that through her attendant and her husband and threw him to the ground. Her hands turned to fire and began smoldering into the creature’s skin. Then she stopped. Her hand would go no further. The vampire had grabbed her wrist and was pulling her hand out of its body.

She could feel her wrist breaking. Matthew and Shelli pulled Bella away. Sarah, Bo and Devin ran towards the Cullens. They were not fast enough. The Cullens defended themselves. They succeeded. Except for Esme. Esme had her head ripped off by the first vampire to reach her.

Carlisle screamed and became distracted. His arms were torn off. His head would soon follow except for a red demon with a fiery skull tackling the vampire. Devin became locked in struggle with his opponent. Sarah gathered Esme’s body and head and ran. A vampire stepped in front of her and Bo’s hand slashed across his mid-section ripping him through the ribs. The vampire screamed and bent over. Emmett Cullen took the opportunity to tear his head off. A lighter flicked and Rose sent the vampire to Hell.

Jasper looked up from the ground to see his wife holding her wrist and snarling. Abe was attempting to burn his opponent. Just like in Russia, he was only meeting limited success. Jasper reached in to his soul and pulled the weapon of his human life.

A 6 shot Colt revolver.

“Abe! Fly!”

Abe looked up and saw The Master. Fiery red eyes, fire in his mouth. Solid black, wearing Jasper Whitlocks clothes. Abe pulled the talons at the end of his wings from the smoking vampire and jumped for the sky. The vampire jumped up and turned. Jasper Whitlock fired.

Time stood still for the vampire. He had been shot before by a hunter he had fed on. It had no effect. So he was slightly surprised when he looked down to see a large hole where his stomach had been. He was on fire. He looked up in disbelief to see the demon that had been Jasper Whitlock fire another round into his head.

Abe flew towards the Cullens. He reached into hell and grabbed a sword. The sessions had helped. By mastering their demons the twelve could reach into hell and obtain whatever weapon they desired. Abe swooped down and sliced the head off the vampire Devin was fighting with. Emmett had joined the twelve in the battle with the remaining vampires.

Bella remained on the ground. She was human. Cindi stood in front of her. Cindi was not human. She was beautiful. Seductive. A black shadow with a dark smile. Her arms were blades. She was ready to defend. Her Mistress could protect herself. But she shouldn’t have to. Bella however would have none of it. She stared at her shattered wrist and watched the bones reattach themselves. Bone slivers forging. Tendons reattaching. It hurt like hell but she would survive. She stood up and saw vampires burning. Carlisle was screaming by Esme. Rose was attempting to reattach his arms with her venom. Then she saw it.

Esme.

She ran as quickly as she could. She nearly fell once but John and Eva caught her. Jasper lifted her in his arms and ran her to Esme.

Carlisle was by her side, only one arm attached. Esme’s mouth was moving but no words came out.

“Back up Carlisle.” Bella said softly to Carlisle. Carlisle looked up at her. The very pregnant teenage girl he had always known. Bella stared at Esme. All stared at Bella. Esme’s head levitated and then attached itself to her body. Bella reached down and touched her neck. Esme took a deep breath. Carlisle lay back on the grass in relief, ignoring the pain from his missing appendage.

The twelve and their Master and Mistress soon found themselves sitting in the Cullens living room. No one said a word.

Finally, Jasper spoke up.

“Any idea what the fuck that was all about?”

“The vampires were stronger. Just like you said they would be, Jasper.” Emmett said quietly.

“Eva, did you save a piece of that vampire?” Jasper asked.

“Of course Jasper. I saved his arm. It is still twitching outside.”

“Bo, could you grab it for me?”

Bo brought back the appendage. Jasper glared at it and handed it to Bella. Bella sniffed.

“Demon.”

“What? I thought Demons couldn’t merge with vampires?”

“Trapped souls can. Demons can always merge with vampires. Demons can merge with anything. The reason they don’t is because a vampire’s venom with a demons soul would make a savage monster. There would be no way the vampire could control the demon.”

“So these demons in the vampires? They are lesser souls?” Esme asked, still shaken from having her head removed and constantly rubbing her neck.

“Yes. Lesser demons. Someone is experimenting. Malchus. He is trying to make stronger vampires that we cannot defeat. He is finding lesser demons before they leave this plane of existence. Before they can reach Hell. Suicided, drug overdoses…”

“He plans to merge a demon completely with Edward.” Bella spoke up as realization hit her.

“Yes. He wants to neutralize us.” Jasper agreed.

“Why wasn’t Edward here then? Why send those vampires here? He had to know you guys could defeat them. We may not have but he had to know you would show up.” Rose commented.

Bella also had this thought in her mind. Something had been bothering her about this. It was pointless. Yes, the vampires were stronger but after Siberia, Malchus had to know they wouldn’t take chances. He had to know they would all…

“He wanted us all here?” Bella whispered.

“Why though?” Carlisle questioned.

“He didn’t want us all here. He wanted us away from the house.” Jasper said, fear rising in his heart. Bella’s eyes lit up.

“We have to go. We have to get to Alice.”

Alice had been having a peaceful afternoon. She wished she could have gone with the twelve but only demons were allowed to walk through Hell and leave. Only the dead were allowed in and they certainly did not come out.

Sitting on the couch watching a movie she was hit by a vision. A vision of Edward Cullen. She became excited. They could find him. They could end him. She saw Edward… looking at the home they all shared. She saw him attack and then nothing…

He burst through the door as her vision ended.

Same Edward. Pretty hair. Crooked grin. Black, black eyes.

“Have you seen what is coming Alice?”

Alice stood. She was not afraid of Edward fucking Cullen. She hated him. She hated him when he touched what belonged dot her and Jasper. She hated when they had to leave her because of his whining ass.

“Hello Edward.”

“It’s good to see you again Alice.”

“Is it?”

“Yes. I have wanted to get my hands around your scrawny neck for a while. Ever since you first saw my Bella and began lusting for her.

“You can’t hurt her. She is invincible. Forever safe from you.”

“Perhaps. But you aren’t.”

Alice and Edward had once played chess quite a bit. He would read her mind, she would see his moves. The game could go on forever with no winner. They would finally quit and move on to some other pursuit.

This time the game would end for one of them.

Alice struck first. He hit Edward in the jaw and watched him fly back. He stood up and charged her. She danced over him. They circled each other. Edward was smiling. Alice was not smiling. She was fast. He had always been the fastest. All she could do was anticipate his moves and hope to get lucky.

He attacked. She stepped to the side but her arm was grabbed. She felt his teeth at her elbow and her lower arm was on the ground. She screamed and he kicked her in the back of the knee. Grabbing her from behind, he grabbed her breast.

“I will never understand what Jasper and Bella find so fascinating about you Alice.”

He rubbed his pelvis into her ass.

“Though I have to admit, someone like you is probably tight as hell. Do you think Bella will miss her piece of ass? That’s all you are to her. That’s all you are to Jasper. A play thing. A cute little sex doll. They are mates. You are a fucking sex toy, Alice. You should have kept your husband in your bed. If you had Bella would be just a plain little possessed girl. She wouldn’t be carrying the Anti-Christ, you stupid bitch.”

“She will send you to hell, Edward.”

“I don’t believe so. I have a friend. A friend who is going to soon make me as invincible as she is. It won’t be long now. I will haunt her Alice. I will kill everyone she loves until that little demonic whore agrees to go to Hell and stay there. Starting with you and continuing with those dogs in La Push.”

Edward’s lips brushed against Alice’s neck. She didn’t make a sound. She wouldn’t give him the pleasure.

“Good night sister.”

He bit down and Alice was covered in darkness.

Jasper and Bella returned home through a shadow in the house.

“Alice?” Bella yelled. Cindi joined her. Jasper didn’t say a word. He could smell it. The small fire in front of the house.

They ran outside and Bella fell to her knees screaming. Purple smoke rose in the air. An envelope was under a rock by the small campfire.

Jasper picked it up and read.

“Bella, my dearest love. Take your hell spawn where it belongs and stay there. If you remain on Earth Jacob Black is next. Did you know he imprinted? Lovely girl. Love eternally, Edward.”

“Find her Jasper.”

“She is gone Bella.”

“Find her. I want to know where she is.”

Jasper closed his eyes. He had an idea that Alice was where Bella would never reach her again. She was a pure soul.

He was surprised.

“She is in Hell.” He whispered.

“What?” Bella couldn’t believe it. She ran into the house. Jasper ran after her but she was gone.

Bella entered Hell and walked past the smoking stacks of bodies piled high. Bodies that would never stop moaning. Bodies that would smolder for eternity.

“Bella, I am here.”

Alice was chained nude to a large rock. Bella knew her body so well. She knew every inch of it. She seemed so small now though. Her hair was longer. It was beautiful. She was surrounded by large beasts. The beasts were getting closer.

“Stop!”

The beasts turned in surprise. They saw Lillith and stepped back. No one in Hell had ever seen her like this. She was frightening. A chilling black wraith in a flowing red dress.

“Touch her and you will be the one who is suffering. No one touches what is mine!”

Bella walked over to Alice and the chains fell away. Alice ran to her.

“What are you doing here Alice? Why?”

“I was given a choice. I could never see you again in Heaven. So Hell it was.” She whispered.

Bella kissed her deeply. Alice felt so human. She was flesh and blood. In this realm she was flesh and blood.

“I remember my life before I was turned Bella. I remember everything.” She was crying. Bella was crying. The beasts stepped farther away. Tears were not unusual in Hell but the tears were usually reserved for those in pain.

Bella felt him from behind. Despite her emotional state she felt the lust surge through her body.

“Master.” She turned and went to a knee. Even in Hell she was pregnant. Lucifer stopped her before she could make it down.

“Lillith you do not bow before me. So this is one of your attendants. The vampire.”

“Yes. She chose to be here for me.”

“Lillith since you and Bella merged I have to say I am impressed with the loyalty people have shown you. You bring this trait out in everyone.”

“Please don’t hurt her, Master.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it. I was just coming to release her myself. I have her room ready in my tower.”

Bella turned and hugged Alice once more.

“I love you Alice. Get settled. It may be Hell but I will do everything I can to make you happy.”

“Bella… He’s going after the wolf pack.” Alice whispered in her ear.

“I know. I will end it. Then I will be back for you.”
